Each woman needs to decide for herself what she'd rather do.
Personally, I'd rather stay at home (I don't want kids) and do the domestic thing, but money-wise that's just not possible. Especially right now, my fiance and I are both having to work full time crappy minimum wage jobs to make ends meet, and even that's sometimes not enough. Once he gets a job in the field he went to school for, there might be more of a possibility of me staying home, but it's a very slim chance. I may be able to work part time instead of full time, but I'll most likely always have to work.
My mom, though, stayed home with us kids until the youngest one (that's me) started school. Then she went to school part time while we were at school, and was back home before we were. Once she got done with school and started working (she's a teacher), her hours were similar to ours. We had to leave earlier in the morning than she did (stupid bus ride ), and by the time the bus got us back home at the end of the day we only had to be by ourselves for an hour at most. So it worked out pretty well.
